Brother printer driver hl-1230 parallel not recognised in Windows 7 Professional 32 bit.

Brother printer driver hl-1230 parallel not recognised in Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. It is supported by MS and brother informed me to contact MS support, but of course MS wants MORE money for support.

How can I get this printer working?

* I have updated the list of printers supported in adding/Printing Assistant
* printers only like mine is HL-1240 and HL-1250. I installed them, but it did not work. Only the white pages are out.
* I went to Windows Update, and was the only one available update for Windows Defender
* I have not tried all of the Vista drivers for this printer, because I don't think I would have, if MS wrote W7 is pressed it.

Brother written all Brother print drivers included in the operating system as well as those on Windows Update.

Have you already installed the drivers from Vista 5/2007 for this device since the Brother's Web site?

I'll send the mail for the Brother printer driver testers who are in Redmond and confirm which driver what they recommend for the device.  I do expect a response until after Jan. 4.

  • Kodak esp3250 drivers do not install on Windows XP Professional 64-bit

    Hello

    I just want to ask if it is possible to download drivers for my Kodak ESP 3250 printer. I heard that it is not compatible with Windows XP Professional 64-bit machines, but I think that it is not true.
    Thank you
    Zuga01

    If you really have XP Pro x 64 (which is rare), you're right that current software/driver Kodak for its all-in-one printers (including the ESP 3250) will not work for your operating system.  See http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/32108/selected/true

    It is possible that Kodak may have an older version of its software that works.  See http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/23858/related/1/selected/true

    OK, so I turn on the printer power.  Thank you for that.  Reinstalled the printer, but I still cannot print.  I get so many error messages I can't keep track of them all.

    The error I got the best on the printhead wasn't working - 0xc19a0013 error.  Sought the french Center of HP solutions and has been made to clean the print head.  Did.  Still no print capability.  Then, search with Bing for this error and was directed to this Forum HP article on soak the print head in warm water.  Try this next because my printer sit without power for nearly a year (probably shouldn't have it, but oh, well done) and very probably the ink clotted and the print head must be blocked.

    If it works, I'll go back and mark this issue resolved...

    However, if I need help I'll be back.  Thanks, Shlomil, for asll you did to help me on this point and I hope not to hear you again! .......%:~}.......

  • Brother printer and the scanner does not work after Windows Update.

    Separated from this thread.

    I have the same problem with my Brother ADS2000 scanner and my multi MFCJ4710.  I can print with the MFC, but the Control Center detects or scanners.  They worked and suddenly stopped.  I wonder if Windows update changed something?  Scanners both work with Windows Fax and Scan, but not Brother Control Center 4.  I called support of brother and again, they have said something about TWAIN and I have to do some registry clean.  I tried their manual steps, they sent with the registry fixes and which totally screwed up on my computer.  I had to do a restore and now back to square one.

    Any solution out there?

    It was my dose,

    (1) start search box type menu "user accounts".

    (2) open and select "user account control settings."

    (3) to change the cursor to "never notify".

    (4) 'ok' to save

    (5) fact! You may need to restart you machine.

    PS: this was my fix, it was caused by software AVG anti-virus, AVG has replaced this setting and would fail to wireless for my scanner. It will be useful.

  • 5.1 surround Sound speaker system does not work in Windows 7 Professional 64-bit edition

    My problem is about the same as other users who cannot get their surround sound speaker system to work properly in Windows 7.

    I have a subwoofer and 5 speakers (2 front, 2 rear, 1 for the centre).  Connection to the RealTek HD Audio embedded is simple, orange for the subwoofer, green for the front and black for the rear.

    Test the sound in Control Panel-> windows sound produces a sound on all channels and RealTek HD Audio Manager at the same time, which is the desired configuration.

    However, different applications use different channels.  IE and Firefox use the front channels, VLC/MediaPlayer uses the back.  3D games (that is to say WoW) through all channels.  In each case the subwoofer does not work.

    I tried to download the latest drivers on the motherboard (Gigabyte) manufacturers site.  I even tried the supplied RealTek drivers (even if on the Web from RealTek site which is NOT recommended).  I tried to connect the connectors of the subwoofer to the different takes (reversed black and green).

    I have experimented with the settings in RealTek HD Audio Manager and control panel-> windows Sound.  Nothing works.

    These exact same subwoofer and speakers worked perfectly well on Windows XP.

    I have 2 questions:

    one) has anyone resolved their 5.1 & Windows 7 problem something that I have not yet tried?

    (b) when will Microsoft take this issue seriously?  All Microsoft provided answers just repeat what everyone

    has already tried.

    First disconnect the cable 3 (orange, green and black) then click on Control Panel configuration-hardware and sound - Real tek HD audio manager - central tick, subwoofer and rear pair, front left and right and filling of speaker

    Then click on advance device settings.

    Select "perform front and reading of output devices back two different audio streams simultaneously" and give ok

    Plug all three pins one by one and select the appropriate option in the popup windows.

    That's all.

    You give enough information for me to get this working.   My system runs Win 7 X 64 Home Premium.   When I select 5.1 sound capacity side my 550 x Logitech speakers are not recognized.  If I select 7.1, which is the capacity of my chip Realtek chipset, I can get the two outside are activated as a "rear" speakers and can push the test tones to each of the four surrounding speakers and the combination of Center/bass via the Realtek driver.

    Regarding the "front and reading of output devices back two different audio streams at the same time" worries... I can't find this option.  There are at least two suppliers of 'control of the interfaces' assets on my system.  One is provided by RealTek, the other by Microsoft.  The access roads to these interfaces is roundabout and confusing, to say the least.

    Some compromises are in order in my humble OPINION.  I have my Pandora one stream play in an acceptable way in my small study.  Many of the source of sounds streamed to me are recorded in stereo or mono, I find myself hitting the 'matrix' on my Logitech X 550 button quite frequently.  Sometimes a more recent piece is delivered which actually looks Ok without the decoder "matrix".

    What I would really like to be able to do is to "reconfigure on the fly" between the built in speakers on my Acer Z3731 system USB bar ' All in One ' and my external Logitech X 550 popular with the ability for the presentation of "5.1 surround sound" through three sons.  When I try your procedure, I don't get separate recognition of each thread, as it is trendy and often end up with its 2.1 being eliminated in my 5.1 speakers, because somehow Microsoft has re-recognized the built-in USB port based his bar instead of the three rear wires plugged into the outlets provided by the manufacturer of the system.

    If there was ever separate 'Speakers' and 'Realtek' icons in the UI on my system, speakers are long gone and I can't get back them.  All I see is the Realtek driver.  I would like to see the two icons 'Speakers' different, I could mark "integrated 2.1" and "5.1 external '", in addition to the driver Realtek.»  How can I get these to reappear?

    Can anyone suggest a way to have two different sets of "speakers" recognized and identified in the Microsoft UI in addition to the Realtek driver?  If I could get because of this, I think that the driver would let me 'set as default' one or the other speaker set, and I 'software switching' capable of letting me choose the external speakers or integrated sound bar offers the sound.

    Hi Johanna,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you can not use the USB in Windows 7.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will definitely help you with this

    1. you get any error message?

    2 have you tried using different USB ports?

    3. any other USB key works on the computer in question?

    4. do the USB works on any other computer?

    5 have had any changes made to the computer before the show?

    Please follow the methods.

    Method 1:

    Run the Microsoft fixit for the link.

    Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/en-us

    Method 2:

    As all devices have same also have USB device associated drivers. Appropriate sometimes drivers not detected after initial installation so reinstalling the drivers can fix the problems.

    You can check after uninstalling and reinstalling USB drivers if you are able to connect. You can disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:

    (a) click Startand then click Control Panel.

    (b) click system and Maintenance, click System, and then click Device Manager.

    (c) Note if the control panel is in Classic view, double-click Systemand then click on Device Manager.

    (d) If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

    (e) in Device Manager, double-click to expand the "USB Bus controllers", right click on the controller host, click "Uninstall" and click "OK".
    Check that if at all, there is an exclamation point on the pilot, it suggests problems with the installed driver.

    (f) repeat step 2 to uninstall all items under 'USB Bus controllers'.

    Then, restart your computer and Windows 7 will automatically reinstall all USB controllers.

    We would be more than happy to help you if the steps above did not solve the problem.

  • Network Drive will not refresh, I use 2 machines to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and 1 Windows 7 Professional 32-bit machine on a wired Ethernet network.

    I use 2 machines to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and 1 Windows 7 Professional 32-bit machine on a wired Ethernet network.

    The network works fine with one question. When I add a new file on the same machine and try to access this new folder from another machine the new folder does not appear. I have to disconnect the network drive of the machine with the new folder, and then map a new drive. When I map the new drive the new folder appears in Windows Explorer on the second machine.

    It's very frustrating when I want to add a file attachment to e-mail from another machine and it does not appear until I disconnect and re - map the drive.

    I hope this all make sense. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? I don't remember this problem when my network was XP Pro machines.

    Thanks for your help.

    Thank you for your help.

    The I work around this problem is to do step 1 and step two, as you suggest.  I haven't restarted the computer though - I will also try it.  I have also not tell abled my ESET NOD32 Antivirus software either - I'll try that too.
    The network drive I'm seeing 'change' on does not refresh by itself, when I press F5 or go to view/update.
    Search Google indicates that this refreshing a network drive issue to show a newly created folder, etc. is a long time, Windows 7 problem.
    I would like your ideas on the potential problem of Windows 7 found on Google.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • CE712A: Driver for HP Color Laserjet CP5225 for Windows XP Professional

    I can't find a driver for my OP de Windows XP Professional 64-bit for my CP5225 printer. Can anyone help?

    In other words, the printer is connected to your network with a rj45 cable I guess.  If yes you must go to the information on the printer menu and print a Setup page that will give you the address ipv4 of the printer.  It should be something like 192.168.1.12 now on you computer xp go to printers and faxes and add printer.  Local printer and do not check autodetect, then and on this screen, click on create a new port and the menu drop-down select standard tcp/ip, and then click Next. Type the address of the address of the printer (ipv4) that was on the configuration page and just keep on going until you get to the page of decision-makers.  On the left choose HP and will work on the Strip right down to Color Laserjet 8550 PCL or PS as long as one or the other, and then click Next and change the name to HP CP5225 or whatever you want to call the printer and you can check on this page to make it your default printer.  Complete and you should now be able to print to the printer.

  • Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. Printer Spooler problem. Cannot print.

    I have Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. I did a clean install of Vista.

    Basically I'm not able to add a printer, because of the many errors I get.

    If I go to the printers-> add printer. I got the error: "Windows can't open add printer." The local print spooler service
    does not work. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine.
    Then I go to Run-> Services.msc and manually restart and 'Start' the printer spooler.

    So now the Add Printer dialog box and choose to add a local printer... There is no existing port to choose
    go and it does not create a new port. (I have to reboot and start the spooler each time before you can
    to successfully open the Add Printer dialog box). (The Printer Spooler as somehow 'stop' shortly after I 'start'.

    Go back and I try to add a network printer. I see my printer network hosted on the network drive, click on the
    printer and I select the printer begins to try to install it, but it quickly produces the error message:
    "Windows cannot connect to the printer. The local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler or
    restart the machine.

    I have absolutely no idea what could cause this problem. And Yes, I tried the Support to call Microsoft, the rep had no idea what was causing it.

    And the print spooler dependencies are listed below:
    This service depends on the following system components:
    Remote procedure call

    The following system components depend on this service:
    Fax


    If any ideas why I can't print?

    Hi j8636,

    As the print spooler service stops automatically, I suggest that run you a scan for viruses/malware.
    Run a virus/malware scan and get back to us.
